Vote NO on all ballot proposals! Here is why for #3 Streets for the People or Big Tech & Corporate E-Bikes? @SpeakerMenin @ShaunAbreu @dylanypyen @nyccommonsense ourtownny.com/voices/streets…

Streets for the People or Big Tech & Corporate E-Bikes?

Calling community input "red tape" should worry everyone. If these proposals, drafted heavily by @openplans, @TransAlt , become law @nyc_dot could close streets, restrict access, movement — hand public space to real estate interests, with no community voice in the process.

please pay attention: @NYCCFB @NYSCOELIG and address this clear violation of election law. There is nothing neutral or educational about this. The administration is using taxpayer funds to get people to vote yes by saying this will deliver a faster government. It’s also a big fat lie. What they really want to do is eliminate the possibility of any dissent on any of their plans. They want to be able to give gifts to their special interests without anyone in the community objecting , just like they do in authoritarian regimes. Every community board president, every city council representative, every community leader, district leader or elected should be objecting to this flagrant misuse of taxpayer funds. We say : VOTE NO ON ALL FIVE. @OneCityRisingNY @nyc_evsa

The city is not supposed to spend funds on electoral campaigns so this is "get out the vote" campaign that is HEAVILY implying you should vote a certain way without saying it. We saw the same thing with the City Council last year, and the year before.

US policy toward Russia & Ukraine is, in a word, shameful. Trump continues to do things FOR Russia & TO Ukraine. But where are the others, from @SecRubio to Republican senators? Do they really want to be seen by history as accomplices to appeasement? richardhaass.substack.com/p/…

Central Park's car-free loop is busier than ever. Crashes keep piling up.

The death of a 71-year-old man who fell from his bike on East Drive while trying to avoid an off-leash dog highlights the growing chaos on the park's 6-mile loop.

Two deaths in 2 weeks involving bicycles on Central Park's dangerous loop. Safety advocate blames Central Park redesign for pedestrian’s death as cyclist crashes rise nypost.com/2026/09/28/us-new… The dangerous "redesign" is indeed horrible. (Turning off red lights??? Stupid!!)

Safety advocate blames Central Park redesign for pedestrian’s death as cyclist crashes rise

Making New York City’s streets and walking paths safer isn’t actually that hard. It just requires us to recognize e-bikes for what they are: motorized vehicles.
